Day 1: Rustic wine with boysenberries, tar, floral, spice, minerals, underbrush and mint. Medium finish. Needs some time in the glass and this has improved for sure. 91 points Day 3: For sure improved over 3 days. Much more open and showing some nice fruit featuring boysenberries, raspberries and unripe strawberries. Also tar, minerals, underbrush, pepper and floral notes. Overall another stellar wine at a great price. 93 points Recommendation: I would hold these for a few years for maximum enjoyment.

Despite late opening, lovely fruit and spice on nose
85% grenache. Deep rich tannins.
For interest, opened a CdP with cheese course; incredible similarity in grenache notes
Lovely

Beguiling bouquet, fantastic flavor. Perfect pairing for lemon and rosemary roast chicken on a “dark and stormy night.”

Oh yes
Despite posted 14.9% abv, this has a light, almost ethereal note, finishing in long sweet red spice
